MEANT TO BE TOGETHER

CHAPTER 15

ZOYA ANWAR - POINT OF VIEW:

I was sitting with dad, uncle and aunty who told me that the guest will start coming by the night. I was talking to aunty when Ishaan bhaiya and Zeeshan came and sat next to us. I immediately looked away as the scene from earlier flashed in my head. He is making me feel awkward, why can't I even look up when he is here? I thought.

"What are you guys talking about?" Ishaan bhaiya asked and aunty told them that all the guest will start coming by the night, and then told some small details about the engagement.

I was listening to aunty when dad called me "Zoya beta come here" I went near him and sat beside him as he signed me to. "Jee papa, do you need anything?" I asked politely and they both smiled to me.

"I have been noticing that you didn't went anywhere out from this hotel to shop or something, you okay? Are you feeling well?" Dad asked and I nodded.

"Relax papa I am totally fine, it's just that I don't need anything or have anyone to give me company as you are busy with helping uncle with the preparations, it's nothing serious" I explained and he nodded.

"I am sorry beta but your uncle and I thought ..." Dad said when uncle cut him.

"Aryan you are my best friend my brother, aren't you?" He asked dad and dad furrowed.

"Why are you suddenly asking about that Ahmed, everything okay?" Dad asked uncle while uncle shook his head.

"No nothing is okay I always wanted a daughter but since we aren't brothers but just friends I dont have the right to call Zoya as my daughter" uncle stated and dad smiled.

"Oh so that is why you are angry?" Dad said and uncle nodded.

"Ahmed you son's is my son's and my daughter is you daughter" dad said and uncle smiled.

"That means from onwards Zoya is calling me papa too" uncle said looking in my direction and I looked at papa who was nodding his head. I looked back in uncle's direction and said "sure unc ... I mean sure papa" I hurriedly change my saying.

"Now it feels like I have a daughter" uncle said with a smile plastered on his face.

I looked around to find Ishaan bhaiya giving me a thumbs up, and I gave him my biggest smile.

"Zoya beta" papa said and I looked back at him "Jee papa" I asked.

"Well when the guest are coming in the night then why don't you children go out and enjoy?" both uncle and papa suggested.

I was going to say that I was okay when Ishaan bhaiya spoke that it was a brilliant idea and he was thinking about the same.

Papa and uncle nodded their head and Ishaan bhaiya told them that we are going to shopping. He asked me to get ready and I went up take my purse and Iphone taking my belongings I went down to see them waiting for me.

I said bye to uncle, aunty and dad and then went out with Ishaan bhaiya and Zeeshan.

"Where are we going?" I asked as we was going towards the car

"The mall" Ishaan bhaiya said when Zeeshan said "Don't lie bhai it's not healthy for you health, I know Aaliya bhabhi is coming there too" when he finished he got a slap in the back of his head by Ishaan bhai which caused me to laugh. Their childish behavior made me smile.

"So her name is Aaliya?" I asked as I didn't knew anything, and bhai nodded.

We sat in the car and drove off to the mall. The drive was silent till they turned on the music, looking at their childish behavior I laughed at them and soon the car halted in front of a big mall.
